Cape Town - Western Province are marginal favourites to win this year's Absa Currie Cup title - if bookmakers are to be believed.
This year's playoffs promise to be a tightly contested affair, with little separating the likely four teams - WP, Golden Lions, Sharks and Blue Bulls - to contest the semi-finals.
Leading SA bookmakers BetFlash have table-toppers WP at 29/20, followed by the Golden Lions and Sharks both at 5/2, with the Blue Bulls at 9/2.
The Free State Cheetahs stand an outside chance of making the playoffs, but will require a number of results to go their way in this weekend's final round of matches.
The 2014 Currie Cup final is scheduled for Saturday, October 25.

Friday, October 10
